breakwater
The weather isn't great today; there's thick fog and strong winds.
The mother and daughter arrived at the breakwater and saw the waves below rising one after another.
The waves crashing against the rocks made a loud, unsettling sound.
At this time, only a few stubborn fishermen were still holding the breakwater, making it look quite deserted.
Chen Zhiyao glanced down a few times; the waves were huge, and she was afraid she might get swept into the sea if she wasn't careful.
In the end, he continued driving the tricycle forward, while explaining to his mother:
"The waves are too big here, there's nowhere to stand. Let's go fishing at the old pier up ahead."
"There's nothing we can do about it, the waves are so big."
Although Yan Shuting was focused on catching red-spotted fish, she still paid attention to safety.
Chen Zhiyao immediately understood her thoughts and said with a smile:
"There are also red grouper at the old pier. The first two times I caught red grouper, I caught them at the old pier."
Now Yan Shuting was completely relieved. Everyone says that the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish. Today, with such strong winds and waves, she was sure to catch some big fish that would fetch a good price.
Holding the fishing rod given to her by her daughter, Yan Shuting was full of confidence, feeling that her catch today would definitely exceed a thousand.
The waves were too big on the other side of the pier, so all the people who wanted to fish came to the old pier.
When Chen Zhiyao saw that the dock was full of fishermen, she was stunned and the smile on her face vanished instantly.
Who leaked her secret hideout?
But there's no use in getting angry, since this place is unclaimed and anyone can come here.
There were too many people fishing at the pier, so Chen Zhiyao led her mother forward to a more secluded corner.
When she arrived, she had already turned on her fishing goggles and was constantly observing the fish activity around her.
After looking for a long time, I finally chose this overgrown place.
There are few people here, so it's quite quiet. There are several fish that look rather large swimming leisurely nearby.
The mother and daughter chose a spot and began baiting their fishing hooks.
Both of them used large hooks, and each of them picked out a lively, still-jumping prawn.
As soon as the fishing hook hit the water, Yan Shuting looked at her daughter with a confident expression:
"Let's have a competition to see who catches the most valuable fish. The winner will treat everyone to dinner."
Chen Zhiyao quickly cast the bait towards the largest dark shadow, then teased with a grin:
"Mom, you're too cunning! If you wanted me to treat you to dinner, you should have just said so earlier."
"Shameless! It's not certain who will win."
Yan Shuting has recently made a lot of money fishing and is feeling quite pleased with herself, confident that she will definitely win.
"I have to win."
My mom has been fishing for a while now, but her luck isn't as good as it was at the beginning. She doesn't believe that this newbie aura can still win her level 2 lucky fishing rod.
Both mother and daughter were convinced they could win, and tensions quickly rose.
Yan Shuting already had the aura of a novice, and with the level one lucky fishing rod given to her by Chen Zhiyao, fish started biting the hook as soon as it hit the water.
"Haha, experience counts!" Yan Shuting immediately stood up excitedly from the small stool, a smug expression on her face.
As a fishing novice, she didn't know much about playing a fish. Feeling that the fish wasn't pulling very hard, she started reeling in the line violently.
Just then, Chen Zhiyao's fishing rod was pulled violently, the movement was jerky and strong, and it looked like a grouper.
Through this period of practice, she has become adept at guessing the size of a fish by observing its pulling force and movements in the sea.
Judging from the force applied, it must weigh at least ten kilograms, and it's a grouper, so it's worth quite a bit of money.
Chen Zhiyao immediately activated the deceleration mechanism, effortlessly maneuvering the grouper in the sea, a slight smile playing on her lips:
"Mom, don't speak too soon. It's still too early to say who will win."
Yan Shuting was somewhat displeased to see that her daughter's fishing rod was almost bent into a crescent moon, while her own fishing rod only nodded slightly.
She reeled in the line even faster, and in less than a minute, she had caught a golden pomfret weighing about 2 pounds from the water.
Yan Shuting was not convinced, so she immediately rummaged through the small bucket a few more times and found the largest, freshest shrimp.
She was lucky this time; the bait landed right in front of a big fish's mouth.
Chen Zhiyao was diligently playing with the fish when she suddenly heard her mother's excited voice.
"This fish is really strong, my hands are so sore."
Hearing Versailles' words, Chen Zhiyao secretly glanced at the fishing rod in her mother's hand out of the corner of her eye.
The fishing reel was spinning wildly, the line was coming out very fast, and the fishing rod was being pulled so badly that it was severely deformed. It was clear that a big fish had taken the bait.
Then she secretly examined her own fishing rod and felt that the two rods were about the same degree of bending, so they seemed to be similar in size. Then she would see whose fish was more valuable.
The fish in the water are very strong, but Chen Zhiyao has already caught several tuna, so her strength has doubled.
In about 10 minutes, a large, pale yellow fish with diagonal stripes on its body was caught.
Chen Zhiyao only glanced at it before becoming excited, and whispered to her mother to boast:
"It's a grouper with a slant barb, and these fish are expensive. A fish like this one, weighing over ten kilograms, can sell for at least 100 yuan per kilogram. If you're lucky, it's not impossible for it to sell for 200 yuan per kilogram."
Slanted grouper
The grouper has delicious flesh, grows quickly, and commands a high market price, making it an important farmed fish in Guangdong, Fujian, and Hainan.
Wild grouper are extremely rare and can hardly be found in the market anymore; most of what we eat now are farmed.
This banded grouper doesn't look wild; it's probably an escaped fish from a fish farm.
Even if they are farmed, this size can sell for more than 80 yuan per kilogram.
Just as Chen Zhiyao took the fishing hook out, she saw her mother neatly and efficiently pull a large bass weighing more than ten pounds ashore.
Her sea bass was quite large, weighing at least 15 or 16 pounds, while her daughter's grouper was estimated to weigh around 14 pounds.
Even though she won in terms of quantity, the price difference between the two was still quite large, and Yan Shuting's face showed a greater sense of urgency.
Chen Zhiyao, on the other hand, had it much easier. She triumphantly cast her second bait at another dark figure that also looked quite large.
However, I didn't expect my mother to catch the fish faster than her.
The mother and daughter took the bait at roughly the same time, one after the other.
Chen Zhiyao smiled broadly, but secretly she was exerting her strength, wanting to win against her opponent.
Yan Shuting was incredibly excited, as if she had been injected with adrenaline, and the mother and daughter competed very seriously.
